101 REASONS TO DRINK AND SMOKE

The 101-year-old man who seemed to have broken the world’s record as the oldest person to run a marathon has been disqualified by Guinness World Records over claims that the old man is a mere 94 years old. “He likes to tell stories,” representatives said about Buster Martin, who made news during the marathon when he stopped for a smoke and a beer at the 13 mile mark. “People ask what's my secret but I haven't got one,” explained Martin. “They say fags and booze are bad for you – but I'm still here, aren't I?"
